It is impossible to say how many plastic bottles are thrown away daily in the Philippines. There are; however, recycling programs in the country. Depending on how successful the programs are, more and more plastic bottles should be recycled rather than simply thrown away.
they are better for enviroment because they last longer than plastic and are not thrown away as aften as plastic bottles
Your mum :p
1.5 million*12 months = 18 million bottles thrown away each year.
Some things that can not be recycled are, Styrofoam, caps to plastic bottles, and pizza boxes. Plastic bags too, they just get thrown away.
The rubbish thrown into the red dustbin is glass eg. bottles
2500000 Plastic bottles are thrown away each hour.
Cans are easier to recycle, but bottles are easier to use. Some places don't offer plastic recycling, and most times the caps have to be thrown away.
How many plastic bottles arte recycled each year
I use about 3-4 bottles daily. So that's about - a lot a year. Gosh that is a lot. What is wrong with people? Plastic water bottles have so much bacteria and they are such a huge waste of oil! Buy a Klean Kanteen!
}they do not degrade they break into small pieces and pollute the ocean/sea. }Also as we are the last in the food chain, we are definitely experiencing the consequences of our actions. }Plastic particles in the oceans attract toxins }Plastic photo degrades. A piece of plastic fragments smaller and smaller pieces of plastic without breaking into simpler compounds }These tiny plastic particles can get sucked up by filter feeders and damage animal's bodies }Animals also eat the plastic, which can poison them or lead to deadly blockages
Because they are each recycled into different materials so if they were recycled together you would have plastic from both forms in one bottle and will make it harder or impossible for bio degradable bottles to decompose later on if thrown out.
